Ghirahim is my most wanted Zelda character. While Skull Kid, Midna and Impa would all be pretty cool (Midna especially), I just prefer Ghirahim more to be a newcomer for Zelda. Plus, while Ultimate adds more villains, Smash could use some more. I also throw in Vaati, but again, Ghirahim is just a better addition to me.

It would be cool to get a female character who's also a heavyweight like Bowser, Donkey Kong, and King K. Rool, though there's admittedly not a lot of choices for that kind of character. Off the top of my head, all I can think of are...
  • Kangaskhan (Pokemon)
  • Zarya (Overwatch)
  • Barbarian/Sonya (Diablo/Heroes of the Storm)
  • Yuugi (Touhou)
There's also.
You know.
Edelgard's timeskip outfit with heavy armour

do you want smash edelgard to have 5 mov and **** speed?
au contraire, the lore of edelgard that her crests make her so beefy and stronk that she can move in heavy armor without difficulty

it's the high heels she wears that gives her the 5 mov and **** speed

people use dimitri for wyverns? blasphemy
gotta work against the axe weakness but it's damn effective
bow knight is probably his best class for non-ng+ runs though, way easier to get and almost as effective

Do you not want Edelgard to be Ganondorf-level strong and heavy in Smash? Because that sounds way cooler than boring old anime academy uniform Edelgard.
the ***** leaps five feet in the air just to kill dragons, you'd be making her ike who spams n-air

Ike is Top 5 heaviest hitters though you're just asking for her to be stupid levels of broken.
Not if her attacks are slower than Ganon and she's the new queen of bottom tier disrespect.

Assuming FP5 will have a Sakurai presentation do you think we will also get these presentations for post-pass characters?

At this point they seem like the new gimmick for Sakurai to do. No reason why he wouldn't.

Poor Joker got shafted of the special treatment though

I hope we get an Direct announcement Tuesday or Wednesday but I'm honestly not expecting and thinking we'll likely be waiting until January.

Joker got an entire mini-direct style exhibition. lol

Though they didn't advertise it like the others...

No directs in January, best we can do is a Smash mini-direct like Robin/Lucina
Did they say we're not getting a direct in January or is this a hunch? Unless they're planning on shadow dropping the character after reveal there's no way they'd wait till February.

EDIT: I also doubt we'll see it in December.

Fat Princess. It's in the title ffs.

Phoebe from Indivisible also comes to mind.

Just watched Granblue Versus stream reveal almost its entire first fighter's pass at once and now I'm wondering why we can't have that.

It's pattern-following. Good luck if you can find a full Nintendo Direct that was in January within the past 3 years.

However, mini Directs and series-focused Directs happen in January. That's why I mentioned the Lucina/Robin direct, that's what we're hoping for.

Oh **** you know a Zelda villain who does have massive potential for Smash and a varied moveset is Yuga. Imagine their grab turning somebody into a painting, punching the crap out of them and then throwing it off stage.

What I'm hoping for is even less info to test this place's patience alongside having other games to look forward to

I sold people who know **** all about NMH to at least keep their eyes open for 3 lmao. The people's patience I want to see tested it the "THE THIRD PARTIES ARE WHY THE ONLINE IS BAD AND WHY NINTENDO DOESN'T PUT MONEY IN THE PRIZE POT!" people.


No joke I saw that take today

The reason we didn't get one is probably because it would have ended up like Terry's with Sakurai doing and showing off literally everything there is to see and being a general fanboy lol

I saw someone saying that today and hope we are talking about the same person because imagine more than one person legit thinking this is real.

Because then we can't hype for five years straight. Duh!

That doesn't even make any sense. Sure third parties are why Nintendo's online looks bad in comparison but...

After Travis Strikes Back I've been a hungry boi for more Suda content. Replayed 1 and 2 last year for the hell of it. Travis looks so ****ing good from what's been shown of the game.

Fu was also really well designed and delivered by whoever the voice actor behind him is, especially the whole "I'm a goddamn superhero". I really hope he is in the final game somehow, this ****'s just too good to go unused. Then again, they used the same ship from the E3 trailer so he's definitely a thing.

That's a take I've legitimately never heard used before.
